Well, I thought Classic got unfortunate that PvZ is so Zerg favored but now it seems he just sucks at the matchup. So many wrong decisions in this series.

The thing is, he just looks worse every ro4/finals vZ series he is playing.

I doubt that would have worked. Too many high templars and some carriers.


There weren't any carriers at that point. I think it had a chance of working (less than 50%, but probably his best shot) if he stopped building any mutas or corruptors after the initial 20 and hit almost immediately afterwards.

With what? Just mass hydras?

He did win the one “normal” game. It’s hard to judge matchups in this meta man, every race has a favourable matchup which skews everything.

If you have trouble getting to a "normal" game it doesn't matter how good you're at it.
Though in 2 of the games it was Classic who screwed up the allin.

Yeah bet everything on ling/hydra. Classic's ground army was absolutely tiny though there were high templars which make up for a lot of things.

I dunno if it's better for the weekend tournaments. That championship sunday can suddenly become a very long day. You don't want to tire the players out completely before the finals either.

But for GSL, definitely better.

It should be mandatory for Katowice and Blizzcon. There's so much money on the line with every match, best of 7 can make a world of difference. The fact that GSL is the only offline tournament with best of 7 semis (now that SSL is gone) just rubs me the wrong way.

And it would be herO's 3rd consecutive Super Tournament final.

I think they would need to remake the schedules to have semis played on Saturday and the final on Sunday. In that case, it would definitely be better.

It actually feels weird that GSL still has Bo3's for the groups. Two quick, weird games and a player is gone.

Statistically speaking a bo5 isn't very different from a bo7, but I get what you're feeling.

I'd disagree for Katowice. Look at the schedule for this year. Some players played 2 BO5 on Saturday already, you want to add another BO7 on top of that so they don't exhaust themselves playing consecutive BO7s the next day, but 2 BO5 1 BO7 is a packed schedule if I've seen one.
